News from the People's Republic of Berkley

Held on Sunday, January 16, the Rally Against Global Terrorism almost never took place. The city of Berkeley constantly stalled on a permit until the organizers were interviewed on KNEW conservative talk radio host Jeff Katz’s talk show. Katz became one of the keynote speakers that day giving a rousing call to define terrorism for what it really is: a crime against humanity and not something to be regarded as justified in any way. Unfortunately, the day was marred by the bellicose presence of protesters against the bus’s presence in Berkeley because it shows the world the damage that can be done by a suicide bomber. Anarchist groups such as International Answer and the International Socialist Organization showed up determined to disrupt the event. They gathered across the street to express their outrage that Jews, Christians, and other supporters of Israel and America had dared to gather and speak out against terrorism.
One has to wonder at the logic of people who would protest a protest against world terrorism in the name of “humanity.” The demonstrators even brought small children who stood alongside them, shouting slogans and imitating their behavior.
Local television news inaccurately portrayed the conflict that day as being between two sides that were equivalent. There was no mention of the fact that it was the pro-Palestinian protesters who disrupted the rally. At the end of the day, the fact that the local “pro-Palestinian” activists chose to protest an anti-terror rally, was eloquent in itself. Indeed, what stood out the most were their vehement objections to the simple showing of the bombed bus. When interviewed by the media, many of them made a claim that the bus was “propaganda” and “one-sided,” as if there were two sides to the bombing of civilians peacefully using public transportation.

Sadly, that is par for the course in places like Berkeley.

seems to fit some of the posters here on FR.
Hmmmm? (scratching head)
Berkeley is becoming an increasingly dangerous place to live. With so much pro-terrorist/terrorism support there, I'm wondering if the city shouldn't be considered a terror cell.
They are just as stupid as the "anti-anti-communists" twenty years ago.
Scary.
The 2 may be different, but it is almost always Muslim's who foment terrorism...especially against the innocent. How did that get started?
I agree completely. What is the matter with the police there? How could they allow the islamists to attack the people against terror?
I thought the Bard College students around here were bad...they are suckling babes compared to the Berkeley scum...
Hmm. I didn't see any signs from the anti-TERROR rally depicting muslims as "organ thieves" or calling them "pigs". But I did see pictures of the islamic scum (yes, scum) with these signs...do you not believe the evidence of your own eyes?
Or does the howl to prayers blind you to all truth?
LOL that was great.
There is no limit to the stupidity of these people. These are the same people who compare the death penalty to the Holocaust. They have no sense of morals or right and wrong.
I have a proposition for the European Union: You can take all of our liberals and give us all of your (scarce) conservatives.
Is it you again, what a pleasant surprise.
"An anti-terror rally, or an anti-Muslim rally? The two are different, you know."
Not really, since 90%+ of Muslims are terrorists or terrorist supporters.
Their pro-terrorist speech should qualify as hate speech, at the very least.
Thanks for the ping Former Dodger.
I love your tag!
Their point is this: they want to work on the US to the point that enough moslems are eventually able to work their way into our society. That's why they're here.
The goal is an Islamic Republic of America. Maybe someday, if they're lucky, and we're not.
It's all about demographics. Overwhelming our system.
